SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the xflip, and meltdown commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but
may be used by others), because the original program does not have a
manual page.
The programs play with the X display, producing some interesting
effects. One traditional use of these commands is to have them run and
affect someone else’s X display, as a practical joke.

OPTIONS

-displaydisplayname
The X display to operate on.
-planes
Operate on a singleplane at a time.
-vert Flip the screen vertically.
-oblic Flip the screen vertically and horizontally at the same time.
-random
Flip small random peices of the screen instead of the while
display.
-timesnumber
Specifies the number of peices of the screen to flip when
-random is used. Default is 300.
-delayx
Meltdown may run too fast on fast computers to be fully
appreciated; this can be used to slow it down. If specified,
every x times the display is updated, a 1 microsecond delay will
be inserted. The default is no delay at all. Reasonable values
for x are in the 20 to 200 range.
-waitn
Makes meltdown wait for n seconds after the screen is totally
black. If you pass 0 to -wait, it will wait until you press a
key or mouse button.
